Hello, new to the forum, looks like a great site. I have run Bobcat for 20+ years. This year for many reasons I switched to a kubota sv75. So far I am impressed with the machine. Loaded with options,The cab and door system is great, very quite running machine, but.... Anyone else out there that owns one - does your loader and bucket stay where you leave it? With my previous machines ( probably 12 for sure) If I left the loader 4' off the ground it would stay there all day if I was using it for a scaffold etc.... This machine: loader drops 4" in 20 mins and the bucket or forks in this case tilt down over 24" in 20 min. If hauling dirt you constantly have to pull the bucket back. Dealer says this is within normal range of hydraulic sag....1" of cylinder sag in an hour is normal - which would be close to a foot of drop on the actual loader. thoughts? Thanks in advance

I dont know much about Kubota other than I like their engines. We run a few Caterpillar skidsteers at work and they have the bucket "sag" your talking about when turned off or idling. But when running with buckets of dirt sagging isnt a issue. None of our bobcats sag when shut off, in fact I normally hang the deer I shoot with my bobcat for a day or two and it hardly settles at all.
